Jens, I did not have any problems what so ever with KiXtart and floating point math to my knowledge. I did not take the time to verify all the caluculated values. I guess it may depend the particular methodology employed.

Initially I planned to skip this outing, but I found the challenge interesting so I started late Friday night to provide a solution. I did not find that excessive time was required to solve the problem and the program's execution time was much faster than the code from the BWT challenge (92+ hours then terminated if memory serves me correctly).
